The Best Hot Chocolate with Homemade Chocolate Sauce! A delicious and cosy mug of homemade hot chocolate created with a rich chocolate sauce and creamy frothy milk. Finish it off with a dusting of cocoa and a sprinkling of grated dark chocolate!

This hot chocolate uses my homemade chocolate sauce recipe which is created with 5-ingredients:
Water
Maple syrup
Cocoa powder
Vanilla
Salt

You either go all out and create the best hot chocolate or stick to using powders, sometimes I like to go all out 😉 hence why I have used my chocolate sauce recipe this time. Yes it might sound like a long process to make a mug of hot chocolate however, once you make up the chocolate sauce, it will keep in your fridge in an airtight jar that you can use anytime, not just for this hot chocolate. I love to use it in milkshakes and drizzle it over ice-cream.

To make this hot chocolate you drizzle ½ - 1 tablespoon of your chocolate sauce into your preferred mug. Depending on how strong you like your hot chocolate will depend on how much sauce you wish to add. Since the sauce is quite rich, half a tablespoon is great to start with. If you’re feeling more indulgent, go for one tablespoon of sauce, thats what I do.

You also don’t need to add any hot water to this, just froth up your milk and pour it over the sauce and mix well. Just make sure you have enough milk to fill your mug!

Enjoy your cosy and heartwarming hot chocolate friend! Sam x
